Message #32739 From: "Jens Rabis" <> References: <> Subject: "Robert-Ettinger-Medal" Date: Sat, 31 Jul 2010 17:16:00 +0200 Hi Cryonauten, Quote": Alcor News, July 2010: 1st to 3rd October 2010 in Goslar, Germany The German Society for Applied Biostasis (DGAB) organizes its first scientific symposium. It has the title "Applied Cryobiology - Scientific Symposium on Cryonics" and will be held in autumn 2010. The symposium is a pioneering event. Its aim is to emphasize the scientific fundamentals of cryonics. Scientists from universities and cryonic research-facilities all over the world present the state of the art of science. During the symposium the "Robert-Ettinger-Medal" for outstanding merits in the field of cryonics will be awarded for the first time. Robert Ettinger is regarded to be the "father of cryonics". He established the Cryonics Institute in Michigan (USA) and is known to be a pioneer of transhumanism. His books "The Prospect of Immortality" and "Man into Superman" are essential works in the fields of cryonics and transhumanism. The symposium "Applied Cryobiology" will be held at the UNESCO World Heritage Site Goslar, Germany, from 1st to 3rd October.

This has been done few people in your life. And there were / are infinitely many billions people. The "Robert-Ettinger-Medal" shows a strengthened/reinforced self-confidence of the cryonic movement :-) Yes, I fell in surprise from the computer chair. *** Zitat: "In diesem Jahr wird zum ersten Mal die ,Robert-Ettinger-Medaille" fur besondere Verdienste fur die Kryonik verliehen.

Zitat Ende, Quelle: http://www.biostase.de/symposium2010.html Gluckwunsch zur Idee einer Medaille und Gluckwunsch in groBem Respekt an den Namensgeber. Das haben nur wenige Menschen in Ihrem Leben geschafft ... und es gab und gibt unendlich viele Milliarden Menschen. Die "Robert-Ettinger-Medal" zeigt ein gestarktes Selbstbewusstsein der kryonischen Bewegung. Ja, ich bin vor Uberraschung vom Computer-Stuhl gefallen.

The original message with the details is copied below. If overseas please note the dateline may make it Monday for you. I believe this is 2 AM Monday in London, 11 AM Monday in Sydney and 9 AM Monday in Perth, but I suggest you check that! Londoners may be forgiven for not staying up... The number is (712) 338-8710 -- and when it asks for the room number type in 388, "followed by the pound sign." Alan __________ Hello all, and now for a new idea! I want to suggest a conference call just for chat. These calls work well for board meetings and are inexpensive, or even free for many people. Why do this? Because how often do you get to talk to fellow enthusiasts? A call just to chat would be like dropping by a coffee klatch of cordial cryonicists. It's possible to get a free chat room for up to 30 people at a time. Users just call the number (it's a regular area code in Iowa), key in the extension, and chat. Users pay for the long distance charge themselves -- but long distance is free to many of us; we pay for unlimited service by the month. For others, it's cheap now. For many places overseas it's a couple of cents a minute. For those in more remote areas, many Internet cafes have access to Skype, which is a couple of cents a minute too. Thus I hope it should be affordable for all. The number is (712) 338-8710 -- and when it asks for the room number type in 388, "followed by the pound sign." I've used this service with another organization for years, and it's always been excellent. Because anyone can call in we would assume the presence of talkative types and discourage any controversial or private remarks. Would anybody like to try this? Does anyone have a time suggestion? What about this Sunday, 5 PM Mountain Daylight Time, 7PM Eastern? and maybe someone can find this as GMT, Australian etc. -- I can't seem to find a site that gives anything but the current time, and we have to worry about the International Dateline too. Or does anyone have a better time suggestion? Also, note that the number is available 24/7/365, so any of us wishing to have a small conference to discuss anything can always use it. (Say, several people want to discuss perfusion techniques or uploading or whatever.) Also, these numbers are free and take about ten seconds to get, so if we want another number for private discussions that's easy too. ( And if you want your own number for family calls etc., just go to mrconference.com.) I tried this with the Cryonics Institute group but got only one caller -- I think the group needs to be larger. Please let me know if you plan to attend. Is anyone interested? Anyone prefer another time? Comments?
